The Genetic and Environmental Path to Peace

An argument by Sarah Mathew uses unrepresentative sampling, Turkana tribes in Africa, to conclude that human alliances are often arbitrary and:
the moral sphere of humans readily extends to include culturally similar people. This is useful because it implies that we could possibly expand the moral sphere by creating perceptions of cultural similarity. Finding the common thread that connects disparate cultures may not be just a cliché, but an evolutionarily backed-up path to peace.
We don't need to look at the Turkana to see that alliances are arbitrary. Looking at history, we see millions of alliances that were self-destructive and ethically destructive.

More recently, we see billions of votes being cast for establishment political parties when doing so is against self-interest and ethical interests. Ordinary voters even donate massive sums against self-interest and ethical interests.

Looking for some cultural common thread or "perceptions of cultural similarity" is not a path to peace. It is a path to misplaced altruism and increased egoism, already known as cultural Marxism. The Turkana ally with ethnoracially similar allies. Put them with whites or Northeast Asians and the Turkana will instantly exploit weaknesses, no matter how much multiculturalists try to indoctrinate us that we are all the same deep inside.

The Turkana almost certainly have much genetic and economic competition within their own "egalitarian" societies that Mathews does not tell us about.

The better path to peace is self-determination, free speech, real democracy, just economies, ethical reasoning, ethnoracially homogenous populations, ethically eugenic breeding, lack of xenocentrism, avoidance of geopolitical salience, severe punishment for legalized bribery, severe punishment for egoism, and defenses that make aggression hugely reckless for those at the top pursuing aggression.
